  • Summary

  • As of November 2, 2024, here’s what you can expect if you're heading out to fish in the Pacific Ocean off the Oregon coast.

    ### Tidal and Weather Conditions
    Today, the sunrise is at about 7:30 AM, and sunset will be around 5:00 PM. Tides are moderate, with a high tide at 9:30 AM and a low tide at 3:30 PM. The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with light winds, making it a decent day to be out on the water.

    ### Fish Activity
    Ocean salmon fishing has closed for the season in most areas, but there are still some other species to target. Yesterday, anglers had success with rockfish and lingcod. The general marine fish bag limit is five fish, plus two lingcod, with no retention of yelloweye or quillback rockfish.

    ### Catch Reports
    Yesterday, boats out of Depoe Bay reported limiting out on rockfish and catching some nice lingcod. The offshore longleader fishery, which is open year-round outside the 40-fathom regulatory line, saw good catches of yellowtail, widow, canary, blue, deacon, redstripe, greenstripe, silvergray, chillipepper, and bocaccio rockfish.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For rockfish and lingcod, using lures like jigs or bait such as sand shrimp, mole crabs, or artificial sand worms can be very effective. When targeting lingcod, a 22-inch minimum size limit applies, so make sure your catch meets this requirement.

    ### Hot Spots
    If you're looking for a good spot, consider the waters outside Depoe Bay, which have been producing good rockfish and lingcod catches. Another area to try is the Central Coast Subarea between Cape Falcon and Humbug Mountain, although be aware that ocean salmon fishing is now closed in this area.

    Overall, it should be a good day for bottom fishing, so gear up and head out to take advantage of the calm weather and active fish. Always check the latest regulations before you go.
